Thanks for the assistance!...... 8139too.o worked great for this
N.I.C. at the first try,
at least in the 2.2.26 system

went ahead and carried this out after downloading the extra needed BL3
modules (for kernel 2.2.26)
No error messages from this and 'lsmod' showed that these modules all
seemed to load fine.

Once this was carried out and 'mpg123 /tmp/test.mp3' started,
IRQ/DRQ Configuration Error messages kept appearing on the screen.

'cat /proc/ioports' showed the Crystal audio controller as
io=0x220-0x223 with no other overlapping addresses
'cat /proc/dma' properly showed dma=1 and dma=5 with the Crystal audio
controller
'cat /proc/interrupts' showed 5: 232

Stopped looking into configuring this sound-unit from within DOS,
and/or spending time playing around with the repository's mpu401.o
module.
